saying that if there were a draft of all the MLB shortstops, Everett would be taken near the bottom


Well, that depends upon drafting order of the Astros in the draft.
:D I think it is obvious the Astros would pick him above most other shortstops.

Truthfully, I think that fan's comment reflects the fact that the only drafts of major league players occur in fantasy leagues. The fantasy scoring is based only on offensive stats. It would be interesting to find out what happens in fantasy drafts if a defensive stat like ZR was added to the scoring. Over time, Everett's drafting order would change significantly.
